The Plant List
The Plant List was a list of botanical names of species of plants created by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Missouri Botanical Garden and launched in 2010. It was intended to be a comprehensive record of all known names of plant species over time, and was produced in response to Target 1 of the 2002-2010 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSP C), to produce "An online flora of all known plants.” It has not been updated since 2013, and has been superseded by World Flora Online. World Flora Online In October 2012, the follow-up project World Flora Online was launched with the aim to publish an online flora of all known plants by 2020. This is a project of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, with the aim of halting the loss of plant species worldwide by 2020. It is developed by a collaborative group of institutions around the world response to the 2011-2020 GSPC's updated Target 1. This aims to achieve an online Flora of all known plants by 2020. It ...

Frank Knowlton
Frank Hall Knowlton (September 2, 1860 - November 22, 1926) was an American botanist, ornithologist and naturalist. Born in Vermont, he joined the Geological Survey and took an interest in fossil plants in the local lignite, later becoming a specialist in paleobotany. He was born in Brandon, Vermont to a family of old settlers. He went to study at Middlebury College where he took an interest in natural history, influenced by Ezra Brainerd and Henry M. Seely. He received a BS in 1884 and an MS in 1887. He visited the US National Museum in Washington in 1884, while preparing an exhibit for the World Cotton Centennial in New Orleans and came in contact with palaeobotanist Lester F. Ward there. He later became an assistant to Ward on the Geology Survey, during which time he studied fossil wood in the lignites of the Potomac. He joined the Geological Survey as an assistant paleontologist in 1894 and was promoted geologist in 1907. He joined the Columbian College , mottoeng ...

Taxonomy ''Acer chaneyi'' is known from leaf and samara specimens which were recovered from a number of different formations in Western North America. The oldest occurrence is from the possibly Early Oligocene Gumboot Mountain flora of Southern Washington state followed by the Late Oligocene Kukak Bay flora in Alaska. In the early Miocene ''A. chaneyi'' is known from the Alaskan Kanalku Bay flora, Oregon Collawash and Little Butte flora. The Middle Miocene locations include the Skolai Creek flora of Alaska, Grand Coulee and Latah floras of Washington, Mascall flora and Succor Creek floras in Oregon and the Latah and Clarkia flora in Idaho.

Acer Castorrivularis
''Acer castorrivularis'' is an extinct maple species in the family Sapindaceae described from a solitary fossil leaf. The species is known from the latest Eocene sediments exposed in the state of Montana, USA. It is one of several extinct species placed in the living section '' Macrantha''. History and classification ''Acer castorrivularis'' is represented by a single fossil specimen that was recovered from a late Eocene, possibly Chadronian aged, outcrop of the Beaver Creek flora. Although it was found north of the Ruby Flora, which outcrops in southeast Montana, the similarities in overall floral composition between the Beaver Creek, Ruby, and other Montana floras are interpreted by Wolfe and Tanai to indicate that the assemblages are coeval in nature. The age of the Ruby flora is considered to range from approximately to approximately or as young as , meaning a probable similar age for the Beaver Creek assemblage. The Beaver Creek assemblage was host to a total of six ''Acer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
